Below you will find good examples of tools of the trade. These can be of your subjects using their tools or good, artistic shots of the tools themselves. Think about background and lighting and don't forget you can always edit photos after you shoot them, but its less work to really think about good compositions before you take those shots! For this you will print a photo NO LARGER than 5x7. (A 4x6 would also be fine). Glue this image onto a sturdy drawing paper or watercolor paper background. Then create a drawing or painting outward from the photograph. This could be realistic or abstracted!
This week we will be looking at a few things you can do with your photographs after they are printed as well as learning a bit about depth of field.
Part A: Depth of Field For part A, you will be reading a chapter on depth of field and then answering questions based on the chapter. Part B: Photo Transfer Mrs. Denison will show you a demo of how you can use a printed photograph, gel medium, and drawing/painting media to create a work of art using the photo transfer technique. Part C: Slice N'Stretch For this assignment, you will print two photographs that are the same or very similar and cut them into strips, and layer them together to create one expanded photograph. See some examples below: Hello Photography students!! Please be sure that if you have a 35mm camera at home that you are bringing it to school this week. We will begin taking photographs with film this week! This week's concepts will have 3 parts: Photo Vocabulary and Parts of the SLR camera; Painting with Developer; and Framing. Part A: Vocabulary and Parts of the SLR Camera Students will use the Focus on Photography text to define photography vocabulary. Also, they will complete the parts of the SLR camera together in class. Part B: Painting with Developer This is a fun technique where students will expose a piece of photo paper to the light and then paint the developer on to develop only a portion of the image instead of the entire thing. See the handout below for more details!
Part C: Framing Students can take images during class time digitally to produce 1 or 2 good Framing shots and then upload them onto their weebly blog. See the attached handout for more details on Framing!
Due to the fact that we are out of photo paper, I am going to change some things around for this week! We will be having a concept-focus week where you will have several concepts that you will complete by Friday. These will either be placed on your weebly blog, or turned in in your binder. The first thing you will need to do for this week, is go into your weebly blog and change your page titles to the following: 1. My Class Photos (should be instead of the home page) 2. Concepts 3. Other Photos 4. Final Photography Portfolio Concept #2--Part A: Pixlr editorFor Part A of this week's concepts assignment, you will need to complete the colorizing of an Annie Leibovitz photograph from the first week of school. For this, we used pixlr editor. Completely color the image and then save it to your school number, and finally upload it to your CONCEPTS page of your weebly blog! (Be sure to label it Concept #2--Part A) The directions for this assignment, you will find below:
Concept #2--Part B: Pixlr ExpressFor Part B of this week's Concepts assignment, you will create a "back in school" celebrity meme using pixlr express.
Concept #2--Part C: History of PhotographyFor Part C of this week's Concept assignment, you will need to read pages 6-8 in the Focus on Photography book and then answer the assigned questions. Mrs. Denison will give you a paper copy in class, or you can do it with the digital version below. You will then either print it out to turn in by Friday in your concepts binder, OR you may post it on the Concepts page of your weebly blog.
